On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed CM Punk’s first promo on Monday Night RAW following his return at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023.
Punk’s closing line before RAW went off the air was, “I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to make money.”
Nash recalled how The Kliq would say it in promos during their careers, but the one who originally came up with it was late WWE Hall of Famer Chief Jay Strongbow.
Nash on where CM Punk got the closing line of his return promo: “All of a sudden people take saying that when — we all did it, like ‘I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to make money.’ The Kliq said that, but you have to at some point give the author credit. That was Chief Jay Strongbow.”
On Captain Lou Albano’s version: “And Lou Albano was: ‘There’s only two things in this business that’s real: money, and the miles.’ That’s Captain Lou.”
